I share a work area with my boss who is a germaphobe. If I'm at about 75% or less, she just sends me packing.

that's me. anyone who works for me sniffles and they are told to GTFO.

I've never faked a sick day because I worry that I'll actually get real sick shortly after and people will be like wtf he was just sick a few days ago. Plus missing work is more work than going to work in my line of work.

Do adults actually get sick a lot?

That's the only time I've missed work, 2 weeks because of bronchitis, could barely move.

Depends on if they hang out with germ incubators (kids).

What kind of job has compensation set in such a way that they hand out 2 raises in a month?

catastrophe · « **Reply #182 on:** January 27, 2017, 01:13:18 PM »

A business way behind its competitors would be my guess.

Well I got my yearly review and then got promoted to senior a few weeks later after we hired my new manager.

I once had an employee that would be fine on a Wednesday, sick on a Thursday, fine on a Friday. guess who never got a raise?

If this was a reoccuring thing than I get it, but there have been plenty of times where I have started getting sick at night, feel like crap the next day, and start feeling better at night only to feel relatively fine the next day. Of course, I usually just go into work anyway or if I'm really bad I just VPN.

The first two months baby Emo was at daycare was the worst. I was sick for two months. I still went to work, but it sucked. And for some weird reason I haven't really been sick since. Probably get cancer when he goes to kindergarten. And I'll still go to work prolly.

Sick today. Emailed my professors and told em I have a stomach bug. No homework due today so that's nice

Took a Friday off a few weeks ago

I really didn't feel good but could have easily gone to work. Slept till noon and and then played video games

Felt like kind of a dick but even taking Friday off I had put in 50 hours that week and was 2 days ahead of schedule on a project...

Look at me rationalizing

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #188 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:36:39 AM »

I only use sick days on a random Tuesday or possibly a Wednesday. Mondays and Fridays are just a given that you're faking the crap out of that crap.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #189 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:39:49 AM »

What's the point of taking a day off if you have to go to work the next day anyway?

star seed 7 · « **Reply #190 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:40:35 AM »

Also everyone knows you're faking when you only take one day lol rook

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #191 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:43:53 AM »

I average about 1 good mental health day every 6 months. I still work from home a bit tho. Sometimes it's just nice to sleep in and hang out with the wife. Do some crap you've been meaning to do for a while around the house.

I didn't realize until this year that companies don't make you use your own PTO for a Family members funeral. Is that law across the board or just here?

_33 · « **Reply #193 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:49:50 AM »

If you need to fake being sick it's best to say you have to stay home with a sick kid. Then it's fine if you're fine the next day.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #194 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:51:05 AM »

My company has a 1 funeral day per year policy. I used it to go to my grandfather's funeral last year. I doubt it's a law.

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #195 on:** November 06, 2017, 09:52:38 AM »

Good to know. I found it unique.

mocat · « **Reply #196 on:** November 06, 2017, 11:31:44 AM »

in my experience, funeral time is handled like jury duty time (not taken out of your normal pto)

IPA4Me · « **Reply #197 on:** November 06, 2017, 01:33:22 PM »

Depends on the company. I get one jury duty day and three funeral days a year. Also three personal days rather than sick days.

Zero guilt taking personal days.

I let my people take whatever they need. I think we have some chart about ow much you can take depending on how you are related but I never pay attention to it.

hemmy · « **Reply #199 on:** November 06, 2017, 04:13:46 PM »

My last job had unlimited pto. I miss it, really bad.
